I've gone through everything on all difficulties, alone and with someone else.
The first time on legandary was really hard, though. You just don't know what to expect. I just COULD NOT get past the second level, halo, where all the dropships are coming down.
I was stuck with one bar of life, a plasma pistol and an assult rifle. There were bodies EVERYWHERE. I'm not talking about one here, one there, I'm talking about EVERYWHERE. Human, Covenant, weapons, blood. It was like a war zone.
I had gotten to a checkpoint, and I was on the structure that shoots those blue thing into the sky (can't remember what it's called) and I didn't want to start the level over again. I can still remember the pattern I had to go through:
- Quickly ran to the stash of weapons and grenades in the upper left corner (where the heath is at the beginning), load up on AR ammo, switch my plasma pistol with another (it was almost out) and grab one last frag grenade.
- Run to the stairway (the one closest to the way you came into the valley) switch to the plasma grenades, and stick an Elite that's running up. If I didn't stick it, I had to reload the save. If he got up to me, I was dead.
- Quickly run over to the lower left hand corner, as there were two drop ships coming in. There was a dead human body there with a pistol, so I temporarily switched my AR with it. Chuck frag grenades at random in their direction, use the zoom on the pistol to shoot anything coming my way, turn to my left a little, towards the other dropship coming in, repeat. Usually I ran out of frag grenades.
-Run to the left hand stairwell and shoot ANYthing that came up.
How did I manage it with just one bar of heath? I got lucky. When the first drop -blam!- came down, one of my grenades mowed down pretty every grunt and jackal, so I had to pick off a few there. The other dropship was simple, as they were in clear sight so I could just pick them off with my pistol (not the elites, of course)
I was left with a few little guys and an elite. Then I got really lucky. Two of the elites were coming up the stairs, so I threw a grenade, and it hit a GRUNT. The grunt ran off towards the elites, the grenade went off, killed one elite, injured another, and I just picked him off with my plasma pistol.
Then it was just a matter of cleaning up the rest carefully. Toughest time I've had.
